Protect Your Plumbing System With A Pressure Regulator

A pressure regulating valve (PRV)—sometimes called a pressure-reducing valve—is a vital component of any household plumbing system. As its name denotes, this crucial device regulates the incoming water pressure from the county or city municipal supply, from a high pounds per square inch (PSI) range down to a safer level for your home’s internal plumbing system and fixtures. High PSI causes toilets, faucets, water heaters, and dishwashers to leak and fail prematurely.

Proper Installation is Crucial

A PRV is so critical that most manufacturers' warranties for plumbing fixtures are not honored if one is not correctly installed and functioning in the home. These valves typically last around 10 years. We check this valve and its proper installation as part of our whole-house professional plumbing inspection and will provide an estimate for any necessary repairs or replacements.

What Our Customers Say

Darion was very professional in the way he
communicated with us concerning the installation of our new hot water heater. He made sure that we understood how the new circulating pump would heat our water to the distant sinks in our house. He did a great job and I would contact him again if I needed any plumbing work done in our
home.

What water pressure range is considered safe for a home?

Safe water pressure levels should be between 40-80psi. Typically, we would like to see the water pressure at 60-65psi.

Is a pressure regulator required by code in all homes?

A pressure regulator is required by safety standards for all homes or properties supplied by the municipal or county water system. Pressure regulators are often not required on well systems.

How can I tell if my pressure regulator is failing?

Inconsistent water pressure, banging pipes, or water spurting from faucets can all signal a failing regulator. Over time, these issues can damage your plumbing.
